To all to ham it may concern Be it known that LWVILLIAM H. /VYMAN,

a citizen of the United States, and resident of Oshkosh, in the county of lVinnebago and State of lVisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements in. Machines for Inserting Binding Material in Sash, of whichthe followlng 1s a description, refer-- ence being had to the accompanying drawings, which are apart of this specification.

The invention relates to machines for inserting binding material in "sash.

'lhe invention designs to provide more particularly a machine for. inserting binding material in grooved pieces of sash-' frame, in which a piece of binding material is forced into the groove, which material cooperates with the pieces of the sashframe, to secure the glass or other material to the sash.

The construction of sash mentioned above is found in structure known "as puttyless windows and doors, where formerly the metal or other binding material for securing the glass or other material to the sash frame, had to be inserted in the groove by hand, and it was to overcome this diiiiculty that this machine was devised, the machine accomplishing all the functions heretofore carried out by manual labor.

In the making of a sash frame for windows or doors it becomes necessary to miter the ends of the binding material atthecor ners where the sides of the sash frame meet,

and it is one of the objects of this invention to cut the miter in the binding material,

previous to its being inserted in the pieces of sash-frame.

It is also sometimes necessary to cut miter-s or notches intermediate the length of the binding material, where the window or door is made from built up sections, so that the binding material will not interfere with lengths corresponding to'the length of the,

saslrframe, previous to its insertion in the grooves in the pieces of the sash-frame. In the making-of this type oi sash, after one MACHINE FOB INsEa'rINe BINDING raarnaiar. IN snsn.

In order that a clear understanding of the functions and purposes accomplished by the machine may be had, the resultingpro'duct' Will be briefly described. In Fig. 1, the sash frame members 9 and 10 are shown united to form the corner of the sash frame, and the binding material 11 is shown inserted in the groove 12 (see Fig. 3) in either sash-member, and it will also be noted, that the ends of the binding material 13 adjacent the corner of the sash, are mitered or cut at an angle, so that when the glass or other material is is inserted within the sash frame so that it seats upon the wall 15 of the rabbet, the outer edge 16 of the binding strip, may be bent over upon the glass or other material (as shown in Fig. 2), to secure the same Within the sash frame, in which condition the ends 13 of the binding material at the corner of the sash, form the miter joint 17 (as shown in Fig. 2). When the sash frame is built up of a number of sections having cross pieces 18 (as shown in Figs. 5 and 7) intermediate the length of the frame, it is necessary to form the joints for the binding material at the corners formed by the cross pieces, and the sash member 19, in the same way as the corners of the sash shown in Figs. 1 and 2 are formed; but as the binding material 20 on the sash member 19 is inserted in one piece, it becomes necessary to notch said material where the cross piece 18 which has a tongue 21 which is inserted in the aperture 22 of the sash 19, joins the frame member 19, as shown in Figs. 4, 5 and 6, and accordingly a U-shaped notch 23 (see Fig. 1) is cut out of the strip 20 having angled edges 24,

' so that when the outer edge of the strip 20 is bent over to retain the glass or material in the sash frame, the ends of the binding ma terial meet at the corners formed by the cross piece 18 and the sash member 19, as shown at 25 in Fig. 5. It will also be noted that the miter 0r angle cut is made so that a portion 26 forms a straight corner with the adjacent strip of binding material, was to fit against the straight edges of the glass or other material. With this construction of sash the outer edge is bent over against the sash, as shown in dotted lines in Figs. 8 and 6, previous to inserting the glass within the sash frame. The binding material in this instance, is L-shaped, as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 6, previous to its insertion in the sash frame.

Fig. 8 also shows another construction in which a piece of sash-frame 27 has a groove 28 therein, and the wall 29 of the rabbet has a recess 30 for receiving the glass or other material 31. With this construction of sash frame the binding material 82 is inserted in the groove 28, and is bent over against the sash-frame, as shown in dotted lines, previous to inserting the glass within the sash frame. In a construction of this kind the binding material may be L-shaped in cross section previous to its insertion in the glass, in which event it may be cut in the same way as in the other construction, or it may be flat, in which event the method of cutting the ends adjacent the corners of the sash-frame and the portion intermediate the length thereof, will be varied, so as to acommodatc the fiat-shaped strip.

With this preliminary explanation of the product, the machine for feeding, mitering, cutting and inserting the binding material in the grooved pieces of sash-frame, will now be described.

The machine comprises a frame 33 carrying brackets 3d upon which a spool 35 carrying the binding material 36 is rotatably mounted, and means are provided for feed ing thebinding material 36 from the spool 85. The feeding mechanism comprises a reciprocating carriage or bar 37 which is slidably mounted upon the supporting tables 38 and 39 forming a continuation of the table 88, carried by the frame 33. This carriage 37 moves between guides 10 and 11 on the table 38 adjacent the front end of the machine, and has mounted thereon means comprising a clamp 12 for releasably gripping one end of the binding material. The bind ing material wiich is unwound from the spool 35 is L-shaped in cross section, as shown in Figs. 16, 17 and 18, one side being parallel to the tables 38 and 39, and the other at right angles thereto, and means are provided for guiding the binding material over the table 88. This guiding means consists of rollers 43 rotatably mounted on pins 1st which are secured to brackets 15 mounted on the table 38, and rollers 46 are also rotatably mounted upon the pins 14-, and are held in yielding engagement with the rollers 43 bv the springs 17 which are mounted upon the pins 44 and interposed between the brackets 15 and the rollers 16. This construction permits the rollers 46 to move laterally upon the pins 44, so that the distance between the rollers 46 and 43 may be varied to form a groove, and so that the upright portion of thebinding material may be yieldingly held within the groove so formed by each guide.

The carriage or bar 37 has mounted thereon at its forward end, a depending bracket -il8 which is slid ably movable within a guideway as on the table 39, and mechanism 1 g;

is provided for reciprocating the carriage 37 to move it forwardly and backwardlv over the tables 38 and 39, forming the top of the machine. This mechanism for actuating the carriage consists of an adjustable link 50 which is pivotally mounted at one end to the lower end of bracket 18, and is pivotally secured at its other end to the upper end of a lever 51 which is rigidlv mounted at its lower end on a shaft 52 which is suitably journaled in brackets 58 on the frame 33, and has an extension 54 upon which is mounted an operating lever 55. As a result of this construction when the lever is moved toward the right or left, the shaft Fi ld .1 1.

The means for holding the sash member in position comprises a plurality of clamping brackets adjustably mounted on abar 87 which is slidably mounted in guide- 88 in the brackets 89 which are mounted upon a vertically adjustableitable 90 adjacent the table 39, and means are provided for elevating and depressing the bar 87 and brackets 86 to clamp a piece of the sash frame in position upon the table 90. Each bracket 86 has a U-shaped portion engaging the bar 37, and a hand screw 91 rotatably mounted in its upper end adapted to engage the upper side of the bar 87. An additional bracket member 92 having a depending flange 93 is adjustably secured to the lower end of the bracket 86, to accommodate for different widths of pieces of sash-frame (see Fig. 17). The bar 87 is kept in a normally elevated position by means of springs 9-1 which are seated in the brackets 89, and means provided for depressing the bar 87 against the action of said springs, consisting of yoke members 95 pivotally secured adjacent either end of the bar 87 by bolts 96, and having rods 97 adjustably connected at their transverse positions, which rods are connected at their lower ends to crank arms 93 mounted upon a shaft 99 which is suitably journaled in brackets 100 on the frame 33, which shaft carries a foot pedal 101. It is obvious that a downward pressure exerted upon the pedal 101 will rotate the shaft 99 and cranks 98, and consequently move the rods 97, yokes 95, bar 87 and brackets 86 downwardly, to clamp the sash in position upon the table 90, as shown in Figs. 17 and 18.

In view of the fact that the machine must operate on sash of different thicknesses, and that for inserting the binding material 11 the lower side of the groove 12 must be in line with the upper surface of the carriage 37 (see Fig. 16) means are provided for ad- -j.usting the position of the table 90 with respect to the carriage 37 and the table 39. This table adjusting means comprises a pair of shafts 102 suitably journaled in brackets 103 secured to the frame 33 carrying bevel gears 104 at their lower ends, which mesh with bevel gears 105 secured to a shaft 106 journaled in the frame and carrying a hand wheel 107. The upper ends 103 of the shafts 102 are provided with screw threads which register with the screw threaded apertures in the brackets 109 secured to the table 90, so that the rotation of the shaft 106 by means of the hand wheel 107 will turn the shafts 102 through the gears 10 1 and 105, to cause the upward or downward movement of the brackets 109 upon the shafts 102, to elevate or depress the table 90 with respect to the table 39 and the frame 33.

It will be noted that manually operable 65 means have been shown for elevating and depressing the sash holding means and the table 90, but it will be evident that any suitable power means could be used in place of the pedal 101 and the hand-wheel 107.

The mechanism for cutting oil the binding material to the required length, and inserting it within the groove in a piece of the SitSll-flttlilt) will now be describet This mechanism consists of a plate 110 which is slid-ably mounted upon the table 39 so as to reciprocate transversely thereacross, said table having transverse slots 111 in which downwardly projecting portions 1120f Che plate 110 fit. A. plurality of screw bolts 113 are secured to the table and project upwardly through slots 11 1 in the plate 110, said bolts tendin to keep the plate 110 in contact with the table 39. A pair of springs 11?) each fastened at their ends to the plate 110 and the frame 33 respectively, and a threaded rod 110 is secured at one end to the plate 110 and passes through an aper ture in a bracket 117, and having nuts 113 and 119 adjustably secured on its threaded end, the bracket being interposed between each set of nuts, whereby the movement of the plate 110 with respect to the table 39 will depend upon the distance between the sets of nuts 118 and 119.

The plate 110 at its forward edge is provided with a longitudinally extending recess 120, whereby the plate may be moved so that the carriage 37 may reciprocate in this recess, and so that the forward edge 121 of said plate may extend over the carriage 37 and move transversely thereto (see Figs. 10, 17 and 18). llounted upon the top of the plate 110 are a plurality of brackets 122 in which is journaled a longitudinally extending shaft or rod 123 to which are rigidly secured a plurality of brackets 12% having extensions 125 which carry a longitudi nally-extending clamping and bending member 1.26 having a straight side 127 which meets a beveled or angled side 123 (see Fig. 18). A. hand lever 129 is secured to one end of the shaft 123 and carries a pin 130 to which one end of a spring 131 is connected, the other end of said spring being fastened to the pin 132 in the end of the plate 110. lvhen the hand lever is operated against the action of the spring 131 to turn. the shaf 123, the brackets 12 1 and the member 126 being rigidly connected thereto, will be turned so that the member 126, when the lever 129 is in the position shown in Fig. 17, will be in the position shown in Figs. 16, 17 and 13. Normally, the lever 129 will be in the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 17, but when it is pushed over to the position shown in full lines, it will remain so unless otherwise acted upon, as the pin 130 is eccentrically mounted with respect to the shaft 123 and in such relation t-l ereto that it will pass beyond the apex of its movement before it isstopped. Under some conditions 7 of its eccentric position, so that the spring 131 will pull the lever 129 backwardly, and consequently the member 126. v

The means for cutting the strips of the binding material into lengths, comprises a knife 135 which is pivotally secured in a bracket 136 adjacent one endof the clamping and bending member .126, its upper end being connected to the upper end ofthe bracket 136 by a spring 137, for reasons hereinafter'set forth. As the knife 135 is directly connected to the member 126, it will move with it, when the lever 129 is operated.

ihe mechanism for reciprocating the plate 110 comprises pairs of links 138 which are pivotally connected to lugs 139 on the plate 110, and also to crank arms 140 mounted on a shaft 141 suitably journaled in the frame 33, which shaft carries a lever arm 142 which is pivotally connected to an adjustable link or connecting rod 143 which is pivotally mounted at its lower end to a foot lever 144 and eccentrically mounted with respect to the shaft 99 (see Fig. 10), said lever 144 being free to turn on the shaft 99. The downward movement of the pedal 144 will actuate the bell-crank levers 140 and 142, and the links 138, causing the plate 110 to move forwardly against the action of the springs 115.

As the machine is designed to insert binding material into the grooved pieces-of sashframe, of varying lengths, and to operate continuously, mechanism is provided for automatically operating the clamp 42. The clamp 42'consists of a movable jaw member 145 which is pivotally secured to a fixed member 146, said jaw member being normally held in clamping position by means of a spring 147, and a laterally-extending pin 148 is secured in said jaw 145. Means are provided for tripping the clamp 42 to free it from engagement with the binding material at any point along the length of 'the plate 110, and for this purpose said plate is provided with a longitudinally extending groove 149 in the upper surface of the end 121 of said plate, which groove is provided with a plurality of holes 150 into any one of which a pin 151 which is secured in a tripping block 152, may be inserted. The tripping block 152has beveled sides 153 and 154, and a straight portion 155, and the laterally projecting pin 148 is adapted to ride on these beveled sides. When the pin 148 strikes the side 153 the front end of the jaw member 145 will be raised upwardly. Thus when the carriage 37 is moving toward the right, carrying the binding material with it, the end being held by the clamp 42, and the pin, striking the side 153, rides up on it, the jaw member 145 will be released from engagement with the binding material. The feed clamp release will 0perate before the notching mechanism engages as 'the tripping block 152 is placed upon the platellO in the groove 149 which plate does not extend as far as the travel of the carriage 37 so that the block will trip the clamp before the end of the carriage strikes the lever 79 to actuate the n otching mechanism. 7

As the knife severs the binding material from the continuous strip when the carriage 37 has fed a predetermined length of said material to a. position adjacent the plate 110, meansare provided for automatically operating the clamp42 to grip the end 156 of the material adjacent the severed end, so that the next length. may be brought into position, which consists of a block 157 pivotally mounted on the table 38, and having an upwardly beveled side 158, a straight portion 159 and a downwardly beveled p0r-' tion 160. When the carriage 37 is moved toward the left, the pin 148 will ride up on the beveled side 158, causing the jaw member 145 to be raised, (see Figs. 20 and 22), and will then ride upon the straight portion 1590f the block 157, under which conditions the end 156 of the binding mate-- rial will rest upon the fixed jaw member 146, and when the pin 148 has moved past the block 157, the spring 147 will move the j jaw 145 downwardy, causing the binding material to be gripped between the jaws 145' and 146. In this condition the carriage 37 is moved forwardly toward the right and the pin 148 coming 'in contact with the beveled-side 160, lifts the block 157 up wardly, causing it to swing on its pivot. (See Fig. 21.)

Though it has been found that the binding material may be inserted in the grooved pieces of sash-frame without using any adhesive, under some conditions this may be necessary, and for this purpose means have been provided for inserting adhesive within the groove, which consists of a feeding Wheel 161 mounted upon a shaft 162 which is journaled in brackets 163, which forms a trough 164 within which the lower half of the wheel 161 operates A pulley 165 is mounted on the shaft162, and a belt 166 runs over said pulley and may be driven by any 169 through which bolts 170 pass, to permit 0? varying the distance between. the guides 68, to accommodate for different thickesses of sash.

in practice, apiece of sash-frame is placed in the guide, grooved side down, so that the periphery of the wheel 161 engages in said groove, under which conditions, during the rotation of th wheel, the adhesive in the trough carried up by the wheel 161, will be deposited in the groove in the piece of sasl frame as said piece is moved along the guides.

Previous to a continuous operation of the machine, the end of the binding material 86 is brought through the notcher A, which is then operated by hand by pulling the rod 76 forward to cut a notch therein. Then the material is brought through the notcher A, and in case the notcher B is used through it, each of said notchers being previously adjusted on the table 88, to cut notches in the binding material at predetermined distances, and between the guide rolls 13 and 4 6, till the end is brought to a position adjacent the knife 135, wh ch is then operated by the handle 129 to cut through the material at the notch. Then the notcher A is again operated by hand, after which the machine is ready for continuous operation, which is as follows: The operator moves the handle 55 toward the left, causing the carriage 37 to move in the same direction, and passing under the bottom of the strip during its movement. Just before the carriage reaches its extreme left position, the pin 14:8 rides up on the inclined side 158 and along the straight portion 159 of the block 157, during which time the end of the carriage strikes the end 84- of the lever 79, causing the rod 76 to move backwardly and the notcher bar 56 to do likewise. When the pin 14-8 moves away from the block 157, the spring 14:7 moves the aw 1 15 downwardly, causing the end of the binding material to be gripped between the aws- 14-5 and 14.6 of the clamp 42, on the carriage. Now the operator moves the lever to the right, consequently moving the carriage in the same direction, which carries the binding material along with it, said material. being unwound from the spool 35. The binding material is carried along until the pin 1 18 of the clamp 42 strikes the inclined side 153 of the strip 152, which has been set in the plate 110 at a predetermined distance from the knife, causing the jaws of the clamp to release their hold of the binding material, after which the movement of the carriage toward the right is completed. Before completing its movement to the right, the front end of the carriage strikes the end 8 1 of the lever 79, moving the bar or rod 76 forwardly, which in turn operates the notcher A or both notchers A and B, to cut a second notch or series of notches in the binding material. At this time the first length of material which has been previously notched is now in position adjacent the table plate 110 (see Fig. 16). The piece of sash-frame which may have been previously placed upon the guides 168 and run over the wheel 161 that suitable adhesive may be applied to the groove, is now placed upon the table 90 which is adjusted as previously pointed out, to accommodate for the thickness of a piece of the sash-frame and a lever 101 is then operated to cause the descent of the bar 87 and the clamping brackets 86 carrying the member 92, which member 92 has been previously adjusted to accommodate for the width of the piece of sash-frame, which re sults in the clamping of said piece in position upon the table 90, so that the lower side of the groove 12 in the piece of sash-frame is in line with the upper surface of the carriage 37 (see 16). Then the operator throws the lever 129 forwardly, causing the clamping and bending member 126 to clamp the upright portion of the strip of binding material between its side 127 and the outer edge 121 of the plate 110, and at the same time moving the knife 135 downwardly to sever the end of the strip adjacent the notch (see Fig. 16). Under these conditions the oporator keeping the pedal 101 under pressure to hold the piece of sash-frame in position, now operates the pedal 14% which causes the plate 110 to move transversely across the table 39 against the action of the springs 115, carying the strip of severed binding material with it, and moving it across the carriage 37 until its bottom side is inserted in the groove 11 in the piece of sash-frame (see Fig. 17 On a. further movement of the plate 110 the'beveled end 180 of the lever 12- strikes the stop pin 133 on the bracket 134:, rides up on it and throws it backwardly, the spring 131 no assisting its movement and throwing it back to the dotted line position shown in Fig. 17. This results in the upward movement of the member 126 releasing it from clamping engagement with the binding material. The pedal 1 1 1 is then relieved from pressure, causing the springs 115 to carry the plate 110 backwardly, the stop nuts 118 a id 119 on the rod 116 attached to the table determining the distance of travel of the table. After this the lever 129 is again moved forward and pressure applied to the pedal 1-1 1, causing the table 110 to move forwardly as before, under whi h conditions the beveled side of the member 126 now engages the outer side of the upright portion of the severed binding strip, pushing the strip farther into the groove, until the bottom side is entirely seated therein, after which the farther movement of the plate 110 and the member 126 causes the up right portion of the strip to be bent against the inclined wall of the rabbet of the piece before, leaving the bottom portion of the binding material inserted in the piece of sash-frame and the upright portion bent down upon said piece, after which the pressure on the pedal 101 is relieved and the piece of the sash-frame removed from the machine. The knife member 135 has been previously described as provided with a spring 137, which permits a movement of the knife, and thereby prevents its injuring the end of the piece of the sash-frame during the insertion of the binding material. After the first strip of binding material is inserted in the piece of sash-frame, the lever 55 is swung to the left causing the car riage to move in the same direction, and before reaching its extreme left position the pin 148 of the clamp rides up on the beveled side 158 and the straight side 159 of the block 157, moving the jaw 145 upwardly, the end 156 of the binding material now being in position on the jaw 146, and as the pin 1A8 moves off the block 157, to permit the jaw member 145 to be moved down wardly by the spring 147, to grip the end of the binding material, the rear end of the carriage strikes the lever 79, and moves the rod 76 backwardly, thus moving the notcher bar of the notcher A, or the notcher-bars of both A and B out of the notches previously cut during the forward travel of the carriage 37, with the first length of strip. Now the carriage 37 is moved toward the right by means of the lever 55, and the pin 1 18 engaging the beveled side 159 of the block 157, lifts it up (see 21), the carriage farther advancingand the clamp 42 being tripped by the block 152, as before, to place the binding material in position for cutting off and inserting the next strip within the groove of another piece of the sash-frame, which is accomplished by repeating the operations previously described.

The invention thus exemplifies a machine for inserting binding material in grooved pieces of sash-frame, said machine comprising mechanism for inserting the binding material in said groove, mechanism for feeding the material to said inserting mechanism, mechanism for notching the material at the end intermediate the length of the strip to be inserted, and for cutting it to length previous to its insertion.

So far as I am aware, it is broadly new to insert a portion of a strip of binding material in a groove in a piece of grooved sashframe by mechanical means, and I do not wish to confine myself to the above specific construction and arrangement herein set forth, as modifications in the various details of construction and arrangement may be made. withoutdeparting from the scope of my invention.

What I claim is:

1.
